OK, so we're living on an Olive Farm for a while now.<br>Bohemian? Yes<br>Practical? Only when its sunny and only when its not olive picking season.<br>So what season is it now? Olive picking and its raining.<br><br>Welcome to our own little corner of Glastonbury<br>

... area. Well, since I had been told it existed I went in with more confidence. Indeed. It was the LARGEST seating area of any of the pizza contestants. There was a small area next to the kitchen that was off a small entry way -- hidden from the street. Then upstairs there were at least 4 rooms with simple chairs and tables. Just waiting to be the lucky support of some delicious pizza.<br><br>I ordered the Buffala pizza. Mozzarella di Buffala (HEY! Does that mean from Buffalo milk ...

... the maniac behind the wheel were enough to make you feel nautious. Sophie's parents had rented a villa in the heard of the village, with amazing patios and views of the sea. From Positano we did a couple of day trips to Capri, a small island about a 35 minute ferry ride of the coast and a trip to Pompeii to the ancient Roman ruins ...

... advice on where to go in the area. Good location to go north (to Naples and Pompeii) and south to Positano and Almafi (which is a hair raising but spectacular drive). We also took the boat to Capri which is a beautiful island and especially loved the Blue Grotto. First time we ran into some rain and we were at Pompeii for about 2 hours before it started raining .. even ...

... park a smart car. And nobody got parking tickets. <br><br>Our first bus tour, on the red bus, began at the Castel Nuovo and headed north to the Museo de Campodimonte passing the Fontana in via Medina, Convitto Nationale (National School in Naples), Basilica de Santa Maria della Sanita and the Church of Madre del Buon Consiglio along the way. <br><br>Returning to the bus terminal, we ...

... all 120 of us somehow managed to throw our things together and jump on a bus...no small feat, simple as it sounds. A two hour bus ride to Paestum was relatively uneventful, and we soon found ourselves in a beautiful ancient Greek city. Paestum, in case you didn't know, is home to the most well-preserved Greek temple in the world, and is surrounded by the remains of the city. It was first a Greek colony, but as the Roman empire expanded, it was taken over and 'Romanized'. Anyway, we ...

... its eruption firsthand? During our time there, we also took a day trip to Pompeii, a site that had once been a city, but was destroyed during Vesuvius' eruption in the first century. We had a great time here - the ruins are amazing! I hadn't realized how much they'd excavated! We spent the majority of the day exploring, and had a fabulous time - the weather was also on our side, which was great! Our last day in Naples we spent exploring the ...

I have brought a list of the ten account numbers, Swift- and IBAN-codes, that fund transfers will come from. The transfers will take place in the first half of desember, by all accords." "Good. Shortly before desember, I will transmit to you a match for your list, encoded. The encryption program is on this disk - do not, and I repeat, do not execute this program ...

... and on the way we got talking to a couple and their young children from Seattle. After Tameka gave them some directions and we got talking we found out that he is a Captain in Seattle Police in charge of Narcotics (so another good connection in the states). We arrived at Pompeii and once again thanks to Culture Week it was free entry (saved us 11 euro each). They give you a map of the place and a ...

... tourist traps, and high-end shopping. I tried to get off the beaten-tourist-trap-path and I walked around some neighborhoods on the backside of the mountain. I ran across some grass court tennis, where I checked to see if I could play, but some old guy was getting a lesson. It definitely looked like a members-only club anyway. I walked over to the central park and watched some clay court tennis and soccer, but didn't really have a chance to play. I ...
